New Metropolitan Theater.

The California Theater company had q
good house last evening. The troupe, of
twenty-one people, is a strong combination
of capable forces. Mr.. Lewis Morrison,
the accomplished actor, is the leading name
and Miss Rosabelle Morrison, his daughter.
the leading lady. The play last evening
was the spectacular military drama, Her
Atonement." 1t was very finely mounted,
the greater portion of the scenery used
being from The California Theater, San
Francisco, and all good. Two of the set
street scene in front of Barnum's Museum,
and the Cortlandt-street ferry landing
were especially fine. The former intro
duced the best snOwstorm effects ever put
upon the stage here. The play gives
Mr.. Morrison but little to do = moth
ing whatever commensurate with his
acknowledged ability. What he has
to do, however, is thoroughly well
and faithfully performed. So, too, in
this piece, Miss Morrison is seen only in
juvenile male low-comedy part-that of
street arab. She plays it well, and makes
out of it all that is possible. The chief in
terest in the very adroitly- arranged and
altogether agreeable drama is found in the
role of Martha West, as taken by Miss
Florence Roberts. 1t is not often that the
nutuldl tlllOllOiio IlOtc DOT-
trayed. Miss Roberts was simply natural.
and read and acted as person under like
circumstances in reality would do. At no
instant on the stage was she forgetful of
the character she wore. By every facial
expression, every gesture, pose and move
meut, the lady fulfilled the call of the role ::
in short, it was, without appearing to be
etfortful, a realization of the authors
conception, and altogether an admirable
bit of art work. The recognition of the
fact by the audience found expression in
warm applause and call before the cur
tain. Miss Jean Clara Walters, Leo Cooper
and Edwin Stevens appeared to excellent
advantage, and because they were faithful,
painstakIng and unaffected their acting
was thoroughly effective. George Barnum
as model policeman gave a fine example
of eccentric low comedy character acting,
and had capital foil in Miss lilly Bar
mum as Bridget O'Mahoney. The part of
the "child" in the play was filled very
PRETTY by little Miss Helen Simmons A
detachment of twenty-five Cadets from the
First Artillery Regiment, under Cap
tain Wiseman, very effectively served
to give life and enthusiasm to two of the
best acts of the drama. The Court scene in
all modern plays is a burlesque play
wrights appear to be incapable of under
standing the most ordinary procedure in
our Courts of justice. 1t is to be said of
that of last night that it was less open to
the charge than any yet presented here.
As whole the play was decided success
and thoroughly entertaining. On being
called before the curtain Mr.. Morrison
took occasion to speak of his company
and pledge his word that the plays of the
week would be produced here as fully, as
to scenery, people and mechanism, as at
the California Theater, and with all the
properties and scenes there used. Her
Atonement" will be repeated tonight.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


The remains of the late Henry Edgertoa
were laid in their final resting place in the
State plat in the City Cemetery yesterday.
The body arrived on the noon train, and
was taken in charge by undertaken ], F.
Clark and q delegation of the deceased S
friends. Mrs. Edgerton accompanied the
remains OF her lamented husband. and was
met at the depot by large number of her
lady friends, who accompanied her to the
cemetery on her sad mission. The body
was conveyed direct from the depot to the
cemetery. at the grave Rev. W. c. Mer-
rill officiated and read the impressive bur
ial services of the Congregational Church.
Among those present were ex-senator
Newton Booth, Judge a. p. Catlin, Judge
n. Greene Curtis, Judge Armstrong, Judge
Van Fleet, State Controller Dunn, John
Mcneil, State Librarian Wallis Library
Trustee Shields, Add c. Hinkson, W A
Anderson, Judge Henry, ]. c. Tnbbs, Hon.
Charles T. Jones, S. c. Houghton, H. Hurd,
n. Z. White and others.
The Superior Court adjourned shortly
before noon out of respect to the memory
of the deceased lawyer, and at the session
OF the Police Court eulogistic remarks were
made by Judge Buckley and City Attorney
Hart.
As the years pass by and the people Of
California come to a fuller realization of
the noble services performed by Henry
Edgerton in the days when California
trembled on the precipice overlooking the
terrible vortex of secession, his memory
will become more and more endearea to
them. Other men have been eulogized as
the saviors of California to the Union. but
the impartial observer of the history of
twentv-six years ago-when the Legislature
of this State was expected to pass an ordi-
nance Of secesSsion-must admit that
Henry Edgerton's gallant championship OF
the cause of the Union, while Senator from
Napa, was due the victory won in that body
at that time. He was then a Democrat-of
the Douglas wing-and his splendid abil-
tiles and mastery eloquence marshaled
upon the side of the Union many Demo-
cratic members of that Legislature who had
come to Sacramento 10 cast their ballots in
favor of a secession ordinance. Untimely
as was his taking off, he lived to see the full
fruition of that thrilling supplication that
closed his mastery argument on the
occasion referred to, in these words:
" And my earnest prayer ascends to Him
who holds the destinies of nations in the
hollow of his hand, that this Union NAV
outride in safety the storms that now howl
and beat about her. May she travel on
forever on-in the luminous pathway of
empires, until her glory and renown shall
have filled the entire globe"
Henry Edgerton is gone-all that was
mortal Of the man-but his patriotism and
genius have left an impress upon the
pages of CALIFORNIA; political and legislative
history, and upon the hearts of all who
knew him, thai time cannot efface. And
it should be the pride of Californians, who
are so largely indebted to him for their
escape from the horrors of rebellion, to see
that some day a fitting monument shall
mark the resting place Of Californias most

1t has been and is still practice for pros
titues and keepers OF low dives and variety
halls to hire messenger boys to deliver
messages to other houses of ill-repute
Many women of the soiled dove type often
hire these boys to deliver messages and
packages to their male and female compan-
ions, and frequently send them out to pur.
chase liquors and to do other service They
are allowed to enter the domiciles of the
women and soon become corrupted and
led from the right path. All of this is in
direct conflict with Section 1889 of the
Penal Code, which reads as follows:

VACCINATION.
A Timely Warning From the State Hoard
Of Health.


of Health.
The State Board of Health, being advised
of the gradual progress of smallpox in sew
eral parts Of the State, deems it its duty TO
warn the public against delay in awaiting
itself of the only known prophyiactlc
against the disease, namely, vaccination.
The supply of pure bovine virus upon the
coast is now ample, its use is almost per-
| fectly devoid of danger, and its protective
| power to guard the system against the IN
yasion of smallpox is unqueshoned II IN
few isolated instances, through some
| popularity of constitution, smallpox Is
contracted after successful vaccination the
disease is modified or rendered so mild as
to be comparatively without danger. From
the fact that this State has been free from
smallpox for 50 many years there is neces-
sarily g large number of persons IN our
midst who are susceptible to the disease
Once smallpox is fairly started this fresh
food for its maintenance is sufficient TO
render the disease epidemic in many
places and the loss of valuable lives GER
tainty. To say nothing OF this, 1t human
itarian aspect, the monetary loss an cpl
demic would cause our citizens and the
injury it would produce in the brilliant
prospects of our State is beyond computa-
ton
These dire but positive results can all be
avoided death averted and perfect safety
assured by efficient vaccination.
The Board advises, therefore, immediate
action. Let competent physicians be APP
pointed in every city and town in the State
as public vaccinators, and if necessary offer
this God-giVen boon free to all. There is
no city, town or hamlet that can for pecun-
larry consideration afford to harbor single
indus for smallpox when the means of
prevention are SO certain, so easy and so
positively effectual.

: Determined Suicide.

Yesterday morning young man was
passing in the vicinity of Seventh and
Eighth streets, near B, when he saw the
body OF man hanging to a tree. He i'm
mediately came to the Coroneris Office and
notified the officials there, who went to
the scene. Upon arriving there the body,
evidently several days dead, was found hang
ing by n rope to small willow tree The
knees touched the ground, and the rope,
which was thin one doubled three times
was sunk deeply into the neck. He hal dark
hair and beard, and was evidently about
40 years old. He wore pair of overalls
and heavy boots, together with a black hat
and a cheap gray coat. The rope with
which he hung himself was about two and
a half feet long, and was tied to limb
just above his head. He evidently deter
mined to kill himself and tying one end of
the rope TO his neck and the other to the
limb lifted his feet from under him. The
body was cut down and taken to the
MOrgue, where pipe, an empty purse and
two bottles of medicine were found in his
clothing. One of the bottles contained
splits of ammonia and the other white
liquid poison being marked on the out
side of the bottle. In his pocket was also
found the following note, evidently ad-
dressed to him:
